I was NOT expecting Bob to whip out the Japanese on a whim like that lol
Man spent a while in Japan. He's a real person of culture. 🤌
He talked about going to highschool in Japan earlier in the video, he worked for Mazda IN JAPAN for years, and he's still a staple of the Japanese car scene. Did you really think he wasn't at least somewhat fluent 😂
I don't know why that's a surprise to anyone, he's clearly a smart man and immersed himself in Japanese culture.
Nihongo jouzu!
And knows the GTA 4 car reference lol Bob is great.
Me : "Gosh, can Bob be cooler ?"
Bob : *is fluent in japanese*...
You thought the guy designed cars for Mazda in Japan without speaking the language?
That was actually sick, did *not* see that coming! 😄
@@norwegiantechnolover He did say he went to high school in Japan, and was considered a traitor cuz he went to Mazda when his classmates went to Toyota.

Bob never ceases to amaze me, I hope I am that vibrant, accomplished and funny when I reach his age
Nothing but blessings and a long life Bob-Sama ❤
Bob working the green screen like that is a great piece of showmanship.
I loved that so much! Glad someone else did.
"That looks like a Tesla!"
' that looks like the parts didn't fit right '
" Yeah!, Exactly! 😂
“Goodbye Pontiac…oh wait” Bob is a savage
"your already gone" lol
Shit had me dead 💀
I miss Pontiac :( Pontiac's death is especially tragic in my opinion because before they had to be shuttered it really looked like they were at the start of a comeback.
This dude is the best guest they've ever had.
Because young jim dog figures out time travel and goes back in time and makes the miata
He is pretty dang good. But I'm a diehard Sandro and Ms A fan.
@@s70driver2005 they said guest not hosts

21:10 confused screaming moaning
Jimmy: No one can make a V16 today.
Bugatti has entered the chat.
I mean on a technicality they make a W16 so...
@@danielcarlucci5243 in their new car they literally used v16. Look for Bugatti Tourbillon
@@danielcarlucci5243 new one IS a V16!
@@danielcarlucci5243 Cadillac tried to do it in 2003, but Bugatti just came out with one, it was made by cosworth. Give it a look, it's pretty interesting. And remember it has to be a production model, not a one-off concept.
Okay, so make the 3rd channel. Bob & Friends, and this wonderful man begins hosting interviews with Japanese car makers and enthusiasts. No dubs, only subs. You've never seen such watch retention. I'll take my consultant fee in more Bob videos.
*MORE BOB*
The bulldog walked so the cybertruck could stumble and fall down the stairs
LOL!
i just spit my tea all over my screen, bravo
does make you wonder if the cybertruck designer maybe saw a picture of the bulldog while high with elmo and thought "this what you want but a truck, right?'
GOOD ONE LMAO
17:48 "There's no way you could really make a V16 right now" This has aged well.
The car has to be 3.6 million per unit.
Yep, someone forgot to tell Bugatti though.
Bugatti makes W16s 🫵🏽😭

I would love to see Bob's take on video game cars from GTA, Cyberpunk, etc...
Just one word. Bob. Casually referencing vidya, building iconic cars, fluent in a VERY different language. Just Bob doing Bob things.
"There's no way you could really make a V16 right now"
Bugatti : hold my Tourbillon
Now tell me, how much does a bugatti cost
@@cristiancepeda_yt the Caddy would also be an expensive car, and Bugatti, you know it is expensive for what you get
@@cristiancepeda_yt The new one with the V16 is 4.6M$
@cristiancepeda_yt what's that got to do with anything?
@@cristiancepeda_yt How can regular blue collar folks ever afford a V16 if not built by an american brand!?!? /s
Bob is just an absolute treat. His energy is like nothing else, and listening to him brings me back to the golden days of cable TV for some reason. What a fun guy.
Please make Bob a regular guest. He brings such a fun atmosphere and I love his take on pretty much anything at this point so far.
Is Jimmy a new permanent host since half of the Donut team has left?
Pretty sure he will be
THE RISE OF JIMMY 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The Jimmy take over
Looks that way. He seems to have taken James' spot, so we're likely to see some other crew or possibly some new hires jump into Jerry's and Jobe's spots before too long.
@@Cavemanner what happened to James?!?
We all called for more Bob Hall and oh boy did he deliver, this man is a living legend, so much knowledge, so much wittiness, perfect episode!
17:49 Jimmy: "There's no way you can really make a V16 right now"
Bugatti: "hold my beer"
I came looking for this comment
"Pushing the envelope right into the shredder" is a genius line
I suppose it makes complete sense but I didnt expect Bob to be so fluent in Japenese haha
I think one of the coolest things about the Cadillac Sixteen was that the engineers designed it to drop to eight cylinders under moderate load and four cylinder under light load. Power when you need it, fuel efficiency when you don't.
That didn’t work out with so many cars bro the Honda VCM was such an issue that most people opted for a workaround half the time the cylinders wouldn’t be working didn’t know what to do Cadillac also had this issue on old 80s 70s cars.
@@BayAreaMike99 And yet, this is something that newer Aston Martins, newer Dodge Charger/Challengers, and other have done successfully. Cylinder deactivation may have been a problem in the past, but those problems have been worked out because it was a technology worth spending that money developing.
Cylinder deactivation is rarely a good idea. You’re still dragging the dead weight of the pistons around. It works on ships where you deactivate entire engines, but it’s not really efficient to have sleeping pistons flopping around using up energy.
@@Ashfielder it's not that bad if the engine has more tolerance for less friction and lighter weight synthetic oils like the modern engines. It's still dead weight though. It's still great tech for fuel efficiency just like turbo charged with a eco tune. Compared to a supercharger with a eco tune. Ones obviously still better and worth developing money into.
Cadillac built engines with cylinder deactivation way back in the early 80's with the V8-6-4 engine. Obviously they quickly dropped the idea after the electronics were unreliable
Jimmy : "There is no way we could make a V16 today....."
Bugatti : "HOLD MY BEER!"
Bob saying "Yeah Exactly" When Nolan said "It's a little GTA IV" made me happy for some reason! 5:57
Bob is a savage treasure. It's been a hot minute since I have heard someone call something an NFW project, however I do use the phrase "The answer to a question that nobody asked" on an almost daily basis.
I got the in video ad of allstate, followed immediately by a youtube ad of allstate, that had the donut crew in it....
yeah i'd only watch Donut and RMS on desktop Browsers, get adblock extensions and just fastforward the built in ad.
Get rekt
Skill issue
Funny thing is Allstate is pulling out of California.
I pay for premium. I hate ads that much .
Bob is the fun uncle that takes you to the fair. He knows the rides that are worth standing in line for and the ones that are a waste. He has that rare combination of expertise and humor.
Just the Master Class on how car design, production, and concept cars work was worth the price of admission. Bob’s charisma and the fun editing take it over the top.
RMS is by far the best thing to come out of Donut since the original “Up to Speed.” Y’all have nailed getting the perfect guests/cohosts that have the perfect balance of knowledge and on camera charisma.
6 allstate ads in a 22:39 minute video is ridiculous
You need an adblocker. I only had to watch the in-video ad, and I skipped past it.
Skill issue
Poor
@@nicottiad blocker on a “smart tv”?
@@sumdood7011 Actually I stopped watching TH-cam TV on my tv and only watch it on my computer, just to remove the 20 mins of ads they were adding to 45 minute shows.
Bob gets cooler and cooler. I love old dudes who are just worldly and cool.
His age is old but he's still youthful.
@@MrManBuzz He really does follow the mantra of 'age is just a number.'
Seeing grandpa and grandson having so much fun really warms my heart. God bless you guys!
Bob screaming as he falls into a black hole has me in stitches
Bob's Japanese is on point. Wasn't expecting that.
These ads will make sure I never switch to all state
6:51 If you look at the front of the car, with the way the retractable headlight covers are in position, the car looks like it's depressed.
TBH I fell in love with the classic 71-72 Demon when I first heard about the Demon concept back in high school and started researching it. I didn't think the concept was all that ugly, albeit my first impression at the time was "it looks like the Miata and Viper had a one night stand and the Miata missed its 'morning after' pill". It woulda had a 6spd in it already so just make it less bulky, tone down on the viper grill a bit, then drop a SRT4 in it and you might have a competitor
RMS is always awesome! Bob is so hilarious and has perfect comedic timing. Such a genuine and funny guy with great knowledge.
As of now, RMS > Donut Main Channel
@@paulomunozartavia2282absolutely. They're in their golden era over here right now, enjoy it while it lasts!

We need a third channel with Jimmy and Bob roasting cars
I cant read HRSPRS without saying “ hursepursss “ 😂😂
Love these videos with Bob and Jimmy! Please stop making Jimmy read so much from a script though, it's not where he shines. He's great in his genuine reactions
I love paying for TH-cam Premium and then still having to watch ads (especially these😒)
Thanks, Donut!!
I never paid a dime. TH-cam revanced and i never seen an ad
@@fentanylekYou should donate to the revanced project but I don't expect you to do that because freeloaders will always be freeloaders
@@IvanCalderon You should shut yo trap son
@@IvanCalderonstfu. Some of us ain't loaded with cash. Plus, why get TH-cam premium when channels load their videos with tons of ads. Revanced gives you SponsorBlock, which helps that.
@@IvanCalderon It's a free thing. How is using a free thing being a freeloader? Why are you so butthurt?
You can really tell how much Bob loves car design.
THANK YOU for giving him a chance to speak Japanese. I knew he must have fluency, but it was something else to see just how much.
When is Bob getting his own channel? He's a solid comedian and there are so many details in concept cars and car design to talk about!
Your ads are becoming ridiculous
you do know they've been doing this for a while in their Donut channel right?. Also would just recommend Adblock extensions if on desktop cuz shits helps.
And they're burying comments like this calling em out on it.
The channel is becoming ridiculous. People are leaving. If you haven’t already go watch the video “why people are leaving the automotive entertainment industry” it explains a lot of why donut is a shell of what it was and why they are pushing Jimmy and the rest of them so hard. They knew Jerry and Jobe were out the door so they just started pushing the rest of the guys formerly behind the camera because it’s cheaper
I worked at Nissan when they did a tour of manufacturing plants with the IDX, they wanted to make that car.
@@nunya2814it was the 4th comment for me
So glad to see Bob back. This man is an absolute treasure!
Bob Hall is a man of immeasurable depth and character.
Bob is the freaking man.
R.I.P. Donut
I was so excited to see Bob back, he's great. We need more of Bob and his wisdom.
I like how Bob said he went to school in Japan and everyone is surprised he is fluent in Japanese.
This guy is always a gem
Cant tell if im watching an ad or a video there was just 3 ads in a row
YT Premium is a bliss. Can also dump Spotify as it includes YT Music.
I guess since they got sold to some investors, it's all about maximizing how much they can squeeze out of us until we start to leave.
I mean they were bought by them 3 years ago, but yeah it sucks. But adblock on mobile Firefox makes it pointless.
@@Waterwater743 Its always sad to see
I don't know where or how you found Bob, but he must be protected at all costs! How did it take THIS LONG for anybody to get a camera on this guy? He's pure gold!
Glad to see Bob is back. His last video on the Miatas was hilarious.
I need more of Bob. Few people can be as incredibly funny, insightful, and savage as this guy.
I understand you're trying to make money here, but there were way too many ads this video, especially when all of the ad slots are your own...
Ad block bro come on
Fast Foward is a thing… you know that right? Smh 🤦🏻
@marzelbj you can't fast forward ads bro
@@XavierDanneradblock + sponsorblock. or just hit the L key to skip ahead. also theres like only 2 ads. cmon.
@@XavierDanner are you complaining about regular youtube ads? bro just get youtube premium its fucking 2024.
Bob is the coolest guy ive seen in the car designing ecosystem. absolute gem
This video looks like you guys had a LOT of fun making it! What a character Bob is! Love it
Bob needs to be on the payroll and host his own series.
Love watching Bob, get him on board with sandro against the girls😅
Love watching Bob and how he knows so much about cars and the way he presents the knowledge.
His comedy and timing is just great.
Bob is so fun to have on this show dude,
There is no Way you Can make a V16 today…..Bugatti: Are you sure??
Bugatti makes a W16 not a V16. Makes a SIGNIFICANT difference in packaging space-wise
@@strictlydiesel8305 Are you living under a rock lately?
@@jjosa52 they're developing it, but it isn't in a production car as of yet unless I've missed something
@@strictlydiesel8305 You're correct the Bugatti Tourbillon isn't yet in production but it's in final prototype gate.
The Bugatti uses a W16, which I assume is much easier to build and fit in a car. Cadillac also doesn’t sell in as high priced a market. Bugatti can make a 16 cylinder for $2.5 million, but Cadillac wouldn’t sell anything at that price
I f*** Love this guy 😂
We do too!
Definitely can do a part 2 of this with more Bob
Getting Bob his own RMS jacket is sick
I met Bob recently, had a nice chat with him about wheels. Nice guy.
I love Bob's total lack of a filter. Cool dude, says what he thinks.
Bob just adds something to every video, incredibly energetic in the bits you show and always being humorous.
Bob is like the definition of "a character." He's perfect for this stuff.
Just based on the title alone, I already love the premise!
Bob is incredible. He's like if one of the Animaniacs was also a genius.
I would watch 250,000 hours of Mr. Hall reviewing cars. So much knowledge and eye for detail. And speaks fluent Japanese. 10/10 would drink a Sapporo or ten with Bob Hall.
Did you know the 250,000th Mazda MX-5 rolled off the assembly line November 9th, 1992?
Some great segments would be Bob answering questions from viewers. It would be amazing for the two of you to read a question and get into a discussion. This was the best car video I have seen in a while.
Bob is the only person cool enough to make Jimmy tolerable
Theres an old saying: "He who smiles the most drives a miata"
Watching Allstate ads from you is actually a breath of fresh air compared to other sponsors on other channels...
Bob and Jimmy the real dynamic duo!
I'd love to see Bob judging some "obscure" concept cars, like the 2010 Rossin-Bertin Vorax.
Yooooo he’s back!!
I love Bob.. I'm just happy you bring him back
I had an Aztec in my twenties and it was amazing. Ran excellent, over 200,000 miles when I got rid of it, (still running)tons of room, drove cross country multiple times. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned.
I hope this channel stays strong, my favorite donut channel
\/ Button for knowing of The Copperhead + Gran Turismo reference
This dude was made for youtube, his sense of humor and quick wit with the kids is impressive.
14:22 It looks like a really rounded and smooth Ford Escort
Better title:
“Inventor of the miata reacts to failed concept cars”

It’s a different channel
You are watching a reaction channel, this is not Donut.

Give Bob his own channel. Call it BobCo. Let him talk about anything. Or give him the Donut Late Night show... "Last Gas with Bob Hall." Interviews with Fellow Designers, racers, car industry experts and big wigs, and let him write the opening monologue. The internet needs it. DONUT needs it.
I love Bob.
Y'all need more Bob.
The world NEEDS more Bob!
tf? that demon looked great
Design aesthetic wise, the grill is too big and the headlights are awkwardly placed. It has some pretty good qualities but the questionable choices are what gives it uncanny valley reception.
All I see is a nissan z I. The front. And I like the z so I find this look fine. They immediately started praising the sf r and I think that looked like a small fish...😅
The front of the demon with a smaller grill mixed with the rest of the copperhead would have been a very good looking roadster I think
Can we get a full series of bob and jimmy? I love the contrast of old and young with similar likes and passion.
Impressive that he was even able to describe abstract concepts of design in his non native language. This guy is a freaking gem.
20:00 it looks like a late 90s early 2000’s toy commercial but turned into a real car
Please don't end up like Hoonigan
Too late
